The Cavalier Mr. Thompson by Richard Tommaso
In his first crime graphic novel in 15 years, veteran cartoonist Rich Tommaso brings readers a story that's one part crime and one part American History. Set in a small oil town of 1920's Big Spring, Texas, this follows the trials and tribulations of aspiring detective Sam Hill and family. Loosely based on the works of real-life crime writer Jim Thompson, The Cavalier Mr Thompson holds the flavour of Thompson's crime novels. However this is very much Tommaso's own story. This marks the first instalment of Tommaso's Sam Hill series.Over the past 17 years, Rich Tommaso has been writing and drawing original comics and graphic novels. His works have been translated into a variety of languages, including Spanish and French. In his career, he has written over a dozen original comic books, which have received positive reviews from publications such as Publishers Weekly, SPIN Magazine, CBG, Wizard, and The Comics Journal. SATCHEL PAIGE: STRIKING OUT JIM CROW, his most recent graphic novel with writer James Sturm, received high praise from The New York Times and earned him an Eisner Award for Outstanding Reality-Based Work in 2008.
